We had this in our local, small town police department. Female police officer spoke up and blew the whistle on somebody that was accepting BJ's to let tickets slide.
The department "downsized", let her go, then re-upsized to hire a different person back. Then they said her allegations were just in retaliation for being let go. Then she sued for wrongful termination and I THINK she ended up winning.
I might have some of the details mixed up cause this was all going down JUST as I was moving into the town.
Wow, I hope she won.
“Policing Selects Bastards” reaffirmed then. As an optimist I have to believe that at any given time at least 1/1000 of 1% of officers* are in the midst of being dismissed for whistleblowing. “ACAB” includes whistleblowers so “Policing Selects Bastards” keeps me on their side.
*(math = 7.2 officers in the US, but I mean to say at least one officer is in limbo for whistleblowing, and yeah I’m too literal but 🤷♂️ )
PSB!
Edit: btw that lady sounds [temporarily] DISRUPTIVE to their badge-shielded crime, neat
